Sheriff's Office personnel presented a summary of the month's activity, noting two reported thefts, two assaults and 23 traffic crashes.

The report highlighted several incidents: on Feb. 7 a traffic stop led to a DWI test refusal; on Feb. 11 a reported family member vehicle theft was entered as stolen and recovered in Mille Lacs County within two hours with an arrest; and on Feb. 27 a traffic stop uncovered a driver with an outstanding Meeker County warrant and false identification, resulting in arrest.
